The article under discussion explains how language skills are incorporated into the English language teaching process. The author of the article consider that Integrated Skills uses a "Communicative Language Teaching" methodology to concentrate on the four primary English language skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The integration of the four skills involves exposing English language learners to authentic language, encouraging natural language interaction, and emphasizing realistic communication. With this method, teachers can monitor their students' development in several areas at once. Not only does integrating language skills aid in the analysis of language forms, but it also facilitates learning of actual content. Finally, students of all ages and backgrounds may find the integrated-skill approach to be very motivating.
